Italian Cooking... sort of.

When I first got to school I was excited to learn that the school we are at offers students the chance to sign up for a variety of cultural experiences organized by the school. A couple of my friends and I took advantage of this by signing up for the cooking class. Out thought process was that we could learn to cook authentic Italian food and thus, impress the ladies when we got back. At least, we figured, the class would mostly be made up of girls and we could flirt with them. We were wrong on both counts.

 Instead of really learning how to cook we were treated as menial labor. I spent 40 minutes doing nothing but kneading dough under the pretext that I was learning all the intricacies involved in cooking a top-notch gnocchi. I do not know anything about how to cook the meal that was taught in class, which is frustrating. 

Also for some reason our class was primarily guys. Our instructor informed us, much to our chagrin that this was the first time the balance had shifted that way. 11 males, 4 females (and most of the females pretty unattractive.)


Ah well, back to watching the food network and basking in the beauty of Giada De Laurentiis
